To all the old school metalheads...

I'm only 20 years old and have been a metalhead since 8th grade. I wanted to create a post where the people who were there in the beginning can recommend the younger generation of metalheads some bands that have been forgotten in time.

I know some bands like Exhorder, Possesed, and I recently found the Canadian thrash group Sacrifice after I saw the singer of Warbringer wearing their shirt at one of their concerts.

I actually wasn't into the underground stuff when I started out (most people aren't), but I discovered some gems from a few extreme compilations like Exhorder and Cerebral Fix that got me buying their albums. The production on those wasn't terrible either, which was a big issue for a lot of the old school metal for me. That's about all I have to offer from the old-school underground.
